The death of nz tivo - new sky boxs

[dread]

Just got the email from Sky telling me to 'book in my replacement' for the old sky box, with their new box...a recording disabled mysky...which I can get set up to record for an extra $15/month.
If I read the above , I/we don't seem to have a choice, and the new Sky box won't be compatible with the Tivo as the composite out won't work...is that right. ?
Has anyone found a way around this ?
I really object to Sky forcing me to ditch my Tivo to use their inferior, and more expensive recorder.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Sounds like you are the first nz TiVo user to get this new box. So as of yet, no one has tested the composite out,
but forums say it will not work. However, you can buy a macrovision defeater from amazon, but they are
expensive $100+, and no guarantee it would work. First issue would be to see if the TiVo can control the
sky box via IR. I have read somewhere that it is supposed to have the same ir codes as pace.

Also, not sure how 'live tv' works on the sky box. it can record 2 and display another one channel I think.
Hopefully the 'displayed' channel works just like a current sky box.
